Books with author Simone Abel

Learning and playing form a perfect match in this innovative book featuring four animal habitats, sixteen magnetized animal pieces, and dozens of ways to discover interesting things about animals and their environments. The magnetized pieces are grouped according to habitat, species type (bugs, reptiles, mammals, birds), and color. Pre-readers can use color and picture clues to help them complete each scene by placing a particular animal onto a magnetized spot. Slightly older youngsters can also employ counting, reading, and deductive reasoning skills, as well as basic science knowledge - and play at the same time!
